[Github-comments] [geany/geany] `geany.conf` not checked for successful save. (Issue #2993)

> I refer to permissions and read-only files because those are the most common conditions that produce popups. The messages can be produced several times a minute, even seconds apart, depending on how often the user saves files, switches documents, or performs other activities that prompt project saving. This makes Geany unusable.

Which is why the infobar is a better idea, the user is informed, but doesn't immediately have to dismiss it, they can keep working, or go investigate why it failed, and as I said it can have a "show on status bar and status window only" button so if they intend the save to fail they can use that.

Yes, thats (part of) why its taken literally decades to get to the current branch from when the idea was first floated.

But as the announcer said "[you ain't seen nothing yet](https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/You+ain%27t+seen+nothing+yet!)" wait until project files is split too :smiling_imp:
